Sequoia Chamber Music Workshop
The Sequoia Chamber Music Workshop is offering a $300 scholarship to all EBYO members to attend this summer's Sequoia Chamber Music Workshop on the beautiful campus of Cal-Poly Humboldt in the redwoods! Sequoia only accepts string, woodwind, French horn and piano players.
Dates: June 16-June 22, 2024
Every camper participant will be placed in four different chamber groups over the week and perform in nightly performances under our nationally recognized chamber music faculty from all around the country! Day trips to the redwoods and beach are also planned. Participants may either stay in the college dorms and eat in the dining room on campus, or in the area at local Air B&Bs, regional parks, or motels in the area with their families. EBYO members do not need to complete an audition!

Take advantage of our early bird discount of $995 by registering for camp before May 1, which is the date that the cost will increase. The application is very simple and no auditions are required!
Camp is available to students in grades 6–12. We will accept you if you’re going into the 6th grade in the fall or if this will be the summer after your senior year in high school.
